they are heavier than the 4th gens probably but you're making it seem like it's a lot heavier. 5th gens are probably only about 100-150lbs heavier which yes is heavier but nothing to worry about too much. How to make it lighter hmm... I usually wouldn't do stuff to lighten up the car A LOT, but I would do some things such as simple stuff you are doing(carbon fiber, seats,etc.).
